1. Do you see me as I see you, an alluring sight
Except as I complain to you full of longing?

2. Was my yearning like your phantom, lying
So you lived between liars a path?

3. Restrain my eyes upon you, for none other flutter
My eyes as long as my heart is throbbing

4. O eyelids, how dare you steal a glance
When a jealous guardian reveals what's stolen?

5. Between crying and wakefulness is a sojourn
That purposely seeks drowning and burning

6. With cheeks that modesty has held back
His blood, so by that mine was set free

7. This is pleasing and that provoking, but
This, its clarity pleases to make one melt

8. He cries as I cry when I see him
Deliberately, lest the beloved be known

9. And when you look to innocence and sorrow
Barrier and complaint, you see differences

10. O you whose traits the breeze copies
In color, taste, and two gardens and saliva

11. Arise and serve it to me when its embers have flown
In the cup and the wine has turned to cinder

12. Like my father al-Khasib while you are sustained by Him
You call Him when He calls sustained

13. As for the companion of money to supremacy
And glory, determined, so an evil companion

14. As if the companion of blessings shook his hand
On parting with it, conditional by that bond

15. You do not distinguish his words with a promised time
Until you see him in his action preceded

16. You almost think the clouds of his generosity
Rain the rights before showing them lightning

17. Until they rained the rights for him, but
You think he fulfils them rightfully

18. His virtues preoccupied hearts and there was not
In books an interpretation or commentary

19. His love thrived and its plantation fruited
A life for the length of time elegant

20. I thus began to covet the likes of it from people
And took the enemy as a friend

21. Your help exhausted the land before its exhaustion
But I see it in the sky compassionate

22. From what attaches its concern to a concern
To distract a glance from seeing perversion
